" There are two categories of Idiot: The curious idiot - a category that includes all scientists - and the Idiot, a category that includes all who are certain." p XV1 - Brian Cox. He doesn't mention flat-earthers.
Some very good statements in this book that I can't find when I go back to look for them.
It is almost philosophical - the meaning of life etc as far as I have got (p 13)
At about page 100 I am beginning to think that he is just writing to make pages to make a book, with nothing totally factual or stimulating enough for me to want to continue reading.
I'll try as it is a reading group book. Peter M mark - 3
Overall marks: 3,4,9,5. ( 3 not scored) =5 avg.
Agree with the comment about Science:- It seems to work this way.
H didn't like the fact that he argued both sides of the discussion, she prefers people who come down on one side of an argument firmly.
P loved the book, thought it was well written, though she listened to it as an audiobook.
Sweeping comments, really interesting - some of the comments.
It was pretty much agreed that we were glad that we had the book, and that we didn't read just fiction.
The next book is an autobiography.
